Chapter 01: First day in the Blackwoods.

Lila Sinclair's POV I stood in front of the gates of the Blackwood mansion with my suitcase beside me, looking like a rejected airport passenger who had taken a wrong turn into rich people's territory. The gates were tall black iron, twisted into fancy patterns that probably cost more than my entire university education. Then there was the mansion itself. Good Lord. The place rose in the distance like something built for kings, billionaires, or people who had never worried about transport fare a day in their lives. It was beautiful. It was intimidating. It was the kind of house where you’d be scared to sneeze too loudly. For a second, I just stood there, fingers curling around the strap of my bag, wondering how the hell my life had flipped this fast. Just last week, I was in a tiny one-room apartment, celebrating the fact that I had finally graduated college with the certificate my mother had killed herself working for me to have. And now, she was gone. No...not gone. Impri

Chapter 02: The Smile that stole my first day.

Lila Sinclair's POV I turned a little to the left, then back to the right, staring at my reflection in the floor-length mirror. My long dark hair tumbled down my shoulders, still damp from my quick shower, while the white sundress clung to my curves in a way I wasn’t sure was too much. I pouted at my reflection, then lifted my phone closer to my face where JoJo’s grin filled the screen.“What do you think?” I asked, stepping back so he could see the full fit. “Cute or trying too hard?”JoJo squinted exaggeratedly, making me laugh. “Hmm… cute, yeah, but you’re definitely trying too hard. You look like you’re about to attend your own engagement brunch.”I gasped dramatically. “Rude! This is my first full day in this mansion, Jo. I can’t look homeless.”He smirked. “You’d look hot in a potato sack and you know it. But seriously, babe, maybe go with the denim shorts and that little top I like. You don’t wanna look like you’re waiting for daddy to introduce you to a billionaire husband.”

Chapter 03: Hi, Husband.

Ethan Blackwood's POV“Can you let me spend at least one damn day at home before blowing up my phone?” I groaned, holding the phone to my ear as I sprawled across my bed, one hand tugging lazily at my damp hair.On the other end, Jared’s laugh was smug. “Bro, stop pretending like you don’t miss me. You’re literally sitting in that mansion bored out of your mind.”“Correction,” I smirked, “I was sitting bored out of my mind. Now I’ve got a new housemate. Way more entertaining than your ugly face popping up on FaceTime.”“Ahhh, the infamous adopted sister your dad was talking about.” Jared dragged the words. “So what’s she like? Cute? Boring? Trouble?”I chuckled low. “Definitely not boring. Trouble? Maybe. Cute?” My lips tilted as the image of Lila in that silk robe from earlier flickered through my mind. The way she bit her lip nervously, the way her laugh had slipped out like it didn’t belong to a stranger… “Yeah, she’s cute.”“Don’t ‘yeah’ me, Ethan. Cute how? Like..you’d ruin your

Chapter 04: The Night I Met Him.

Lila Sinclair's POV I stared at my reflection in the mirror, hardly recognizing the girl in front of me. The soft curls Ethan had fixed in my hair bounced over my shoulders, my dress hugged my body in all the right places, and the light makeup made me look like I belonged to this mansion, like I’d always been this polished.Ethan leaned against the doorframe with that smug grin of his.“Damn, Lila. If Damien doesn’t thank my father for adopting you, I will.”I rolled my eyes, but heat rushed to my cheeks. “Stop flattering me.”“I’m not flattering,” he said, stepping closer, his eyes scanning me slowly, deliberately. “I’m stating facts. Tonight, you’re about to make one woman very jealous.”I raised my brow. “Stephanie?”He chuckled, shaking his head. “Smart girl. You’ll catch on quick.”I sighed. “So let me get this straight. You’re dragging me to your ex’s birthday party to… what? Parade me like some trophy?”“Exactly.” He smirked wider, his tone playful but sharp underneath. “Steph

Chapter 05: Breakfasts With Princes and Demons.

Lila's POV “Hey, Lila, wakey-dokey! You’re late!” Ethan’s voice roared up the stairs, exaggerated and playful, like he was a stand-up comedian trying to get the audience to clap.I groaned into my pillow, smiling despite myself. Only Ethan could make laziness feel like an event. By the time I dragged my body out of bed and threw on an oversized shirt, I heard him again...closer this time. “Don’t make me come up there, lil baby. I will.”I opened the door just in time to see him running up the stairs dramatically, his arm stretched out like a prince charming ready to catch his runaway bride. “There she is!” he grinned, stopping two steps below me and bowing low. “Princess Fiona finally awakens from her beauty sleep. Shall I escort you to breakfast, Your Highness?”I rolled my eyes but my lips betrayed me with a smile. “You’re ridiculous.”“And you’re late,” he shot back, grabbing my hand before I could protest. His palm was warm, steady. He half-dragged, half-led me down the grand sta

Chapter 06: The Devil In The Hallway.

Lila's POV “Look who called today, pussyyy!” JoJo’s voice blasted from the screen before his face even popped up.I burst into laughter. He was leaning against some neon-lit wall, the strobes from a club bouncing across his dark shades like he thought he was a celebrity. “JoJo!” I grinned, instantly lighter. “God, do you ever change? Every time it’s some dumbass word first thing on the call.”“Why would I?” He smirked, lips glistening from a drink. “You love me for it. Admit it.”I rolled my eyes. “You’re insane.”“Insanely fine, maybe. Anyway, where the hell are you? This doesn’t look like your ratty apartment.”I snorted. “Long story. But first, where are you? And why do I hear ‘Despacito’ blasting in the background?”JoJo tilted his phone, showing flashing lights, half-naked strangers grinding against each other. “Club, baby. Some Tinder guy dragged me here. Thought he was gonna be my Prince Charming. Turns out, his cock was like a crayon. I had to cancel the deal.”I threw my hea

Chapter 07: Seed Of Disgust.

Damien’s POV“Is everything okay, miss?” I asked, though the words didn’t come out kind, they came out sharp, annoyed, like I had already wasted too much time watching her fumble with herself.The girl... Lila...sat there on the damn chair, struggling with a pair of heels as if it was rocket science. A pair of heels. Jesus Christ.I adjusted the cuffs of my suit jacket, car keys clinking in my hand. I should’ve been out the door ten minutes ago, but here she was… fussing with straps, biting her lip, pouting like some helpless thing that expected a knight in shining armor to swoop in and fix her shoe.I leaned against the frame of the door, crossing my arms. “You plan on carrying those on your hand the whole night?”She looked up at me, her lips curved in that pout again, and to be honest, it made my stomach twist. Not because it was cute. Because it was pathetic. “I can’t wear them,” she murmured, almost like she wanted pity.I arched a brow, letting my eyes deliberately drag down her

Chapter 08: Lips Against My Last Breath.

Lila's POV “Your phone,” I said shakily, my voice barely steady as we finally pulled up to what looked like a mansion disguised as a party hall. I handed him the device since it had been ringing nonstop since the drive.Damien took it from me without so much as a glance, no thank you, no warmth. His face was all sharp angles, clean cut, unreadable. Not that I expected appreciation....gratitude wasn’t in his dictionary when it came to me. He slipped out of the car in one fluid motion, his aura immediately pulling eyes.I exhaled and climbed out too, my heels clicking softly on the polished stones as I followed a step behind. I wasn’t foolish enough to walk beside him...Damien Blackwood wasn’t someone you tried to level yourself with.But he stopped suddenly and pivoted on his heel, his piercing eyes locking into me. “Why are you following me?”I froze. My tongue tied itself in knots as I stammered, “I...I just thought…”He hit his forehead with the heel of his palm, a gesture dripping

Chapter 09: When The Music Stops, What Next?(18+)

Ethan's POV “Lila?” I stood there like a confused figure, my brain splitting in two. I didn’t know if I should be jealous, angry, or just disappointed in myself. I had done everything humanly possible to be the type of guy she should kill for....the guy she should thirst and hunger for. And yet here she was, kissing a man who wouldn’t drop a penny if she was kidnapped or killed. I masked my expression the moment her gaze landed on me. No way I’d let her see me crack. These were girls’ games..I knew them too well. Still, it ached. Ached that no matter how much I tried, I could never bag a woman for real. They always ended up choosing someone better, and somehow, “better” always meant Damien. My stepbrother. At least that’s what they called him. But I never understood why. Damien acted nothing like a brother. He wasn’t family, he was a rival wearing the same last name. I walked to her as Damien stood up. "Are you okay, Lil?" I asked as she nodded. Then Damien’s voice cut sharp

Chapter 10: One Night. Two Stepbrothers. One Me.

Lila's POV “I should go,” I murmured, tugging my hair into a quick ponytail as Ethan rose slowly from the edge of the bed.His hand brushed my cheek with a gentleness that made my heart squeeze. “Damn,” he whispered, voice rough from laughter and what we had just done, “I thought you were some saint.”I smacked his arm, laughing, hiding how hot my skin still burned. “Shut up.”“No, for real,” he leaned in, his lips ghosting near my ear. “Please stay.”“I can’t,” I whispered back, even though every part of me wanted to. “I need to freshen up before I crash.”He sighed dramatically and plopped back down on the mattress, giving me those puppy-eyes that always made me weak. “Don’t you feel awkward at all? About us?”I tilted my chin, smirking. “Awkward? Please. I wanted to fuck you too. You think you’re the only one with cravings?”He laughed so loud it shook his shoulders, and that broke whatever tension lingered. His grin was wild, boyish, dangerous. “Then you’re all mine.”I rolled my
